Oral Hygiene

Today I took Sam to Starbucks so I could get my morning coffee fix and he could see some buses and run around.  Before we left I brushed my teeth, which made Sam want to brush his teeth.  He then didn't want to give me back the toothbrush, which was actually Chris's adult size toothbrush.  Since teeth brushing has been a battle of the wills lately, I figured it was better that he wanted it than didn't.  I let him take it for the ride.

I parked and went to unbuckle him from the carseat.  The toothbrush was still in his mouth.  I tried to take it out, he clamped firmly down on it, opening his mouth only to say, "NO."  I assessed the situation.  My coffee won over the potential temper tantrum which might mean no caffeine.  So Sam continued to brush his teeth in Starbucks while I got my coffee.
